Homestays in Northern Cape, South Africa

Great little place, self service so you’ll need your own cutlery and so on. Only problem is that the vehicles driving by sounds like they are falling apart. For light sleepers it’s not a good location. Maybe if book g one of the back rooms it might be quieter. I would use this service again if traveling through Upington again.

I needed a place to overnight while travelling from Cape Town to Kgalagadi. I'm super glad I chose River Place Manor in Upington. The town had plenty of facilities to stock up with and the accommodation itself was lovely right next to the river with comfy loungers and a beautiful garden surrounded by pecan trees and vines. I stayed here late September so had no issues with mosquitos. My 9 and 11 year old kids enjoyed the pool overlooking the river. Also the breakfast was yummy - worth it to include in your booking. I particularly enjoyed their sausage. I somehow forgot my jacket there and the staff were very helpful and communicated promptly via WhatsApp. Lovely place, just book it.

This place is ideally located as the first location offering (there's plenty in the area to choose from) when you enter Upington along the N14. So, after a long drive to the Northern Cape from Rustenburg, its location was ideal for us as a midway stop to where we had planned to visit. We chose this place for its value for money package and how it easily accommodated our little one. For the price, we also had breakfast included. We opted for an upgrade of our room, to one with both a shower and bathtub and we were gladly granted that request. A bathtub makes bath time easier with a little one. The room we were given was upstairs (number 3) and had an extra mattress prepared for us. The room was so spacious that our little one could easily play around with his scooter inside. We're glad we had enough space in the car to pack his favorite mobile toy for him to enjoy here! The room had pretty much everything you can think of in it for functionality purposes - aircon, comfy bed, bar fridge, extra blanket, safe, study table and chair, couch, complimentary water, DStv, clean and fresh towels. The TV is cleverly positioned away from the study area to give privacy to those using the table and chair for reading or writing purposes. The DSTV also had many channels available, which meant that our little one could watch any cartoon channel he wanted to, all day long. The room also had a tea and coffee station, with snacks and drinks, the snacks and drinks were available for purchase. The room had a wooden floor and an outside balcony area. The area is also safe with gated access and limited covered parking. The atmosphere around the place is one that is peaceful, in touch with nature and calming. There's lush green grass and plants around with a massive pool and beautiful ponds all around with fish to see. There are two friendly ducks, which our son loved to see and greet each time he saw them and there are some springboks at a distance to see as well when you walk around the area to take everything in. The animals were a special touch that the place offered and our son really enjoyed that element to the place. There was unfortunately no jungle gym (play area) as I had expected from the online images I have seen. The place did not also offer dinner/lunch but that was highlighted at check in. The room also did not have a microwave to warm up the takeaway food but was not a deal breaker. The place is located close to the Kalahari Mall and an Engen garage for filling up. Browns Manor was an ideal accommodation spot for us as we had planned to visit the Augrabies Falls, which is located 1 hour and 30 minutes drive away from the National Park. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it.

A very nice venue overlooking the Orange river which was very full and flowing fast during our visit. Our room was very clean and private and was well furnished. A bit dissappointing that the venue (as a 5 star establishment) did not offer any meals even though they had a restaurant overlooking the river

We stayed in a king room and extended for another night, because we were so comfortable (and the flowers were spectacular at Goegap). Very comfortable beds, great shower, basic kitchen equipment (no hob, but there is a public kitchen, which one can use), spacious. Very friendly owners. Will definitely stay there again when in the area and would highly recommend. Generator backup during load shedding is also great.
